It's the SF International Film Festival. Going through the list of movies was overwhelming. So I randomly picked a few and asked my friends if there was any interest. So we decided to see Twixt by Francis Ford Coppola. I thought it was quite funny. I also thought the cinematography was beautiful. Nice job on the art direction Jimmy DiMarcellis! It's been so long since I've been to the Castro Theater. The last time was for the Krooked Kronicles premier in 2006.

As we were walking to my sister's birthday dinner, we stumbled upon these amazingly cute hand painted shoes (faux Keds and Converse) at Linda Boutique on 952 Grant Ave. So of course, my sister had to get a pair. Bonus: you get a Charmmy Kitty bag with your purchase.

I had to have burrata as I've been thinking about it a lot this week. So of course we had to have brunch at Bar Agricole, where Brandon had to make us a special burrata dish. We also learned that Diego thought we were talking too much, and Parker is becoming quite a fashionista. I highly recommend going to Bar Agricole for brunch, which is only on Sundays.

People have been bugging me about doing a blog with all my food recommendations. It is now integrated into this blog. You can always filter by the "food" label. I hope you are satisfied now Marie-Anne! You can always just ask me too.

I had the pleasure of working with Matthew Brookes on this shoot. This was a funny shoot. I remember being in the car getting back to the hotel after a day of shooting sitting between Will and Arthur. I forgot what we were talking about (probably about how Will is going to work out right after), but Will started doing butt crunches and I had frowned. Then one of them said to me, "Amy, a lot of people would pay a lot of money to be where you are sitting right now." Then both of them said simultaneously, "Mostly gay men." Ha. On the last day of shooting, a Saturday, we had made a newspaper stand on the Embarcadero. All the people walking by, especially the tourists kept coming by to buy newspapers and magazines, and we had to keep telling them these are our props for our photo shoot. After shooting on Muni trains for a week straight, I never wanted to take them around town ever again, especially the F train. These were shot by my iPhone 3. I also dropped it a bunch of times and it would randomly either go into the Matrix (where all the pictures come out all green like it's in the Matrix) or has weird random effects on it like the one below in yellow.
